Change "from [name]"/"offered by [name]" in a Chrome extension's Webstore listing

Question

I have created a Chrome extension. By default it took my Gmail id in the "from xyzpqr".

How can I change my Gmail id to something different?

Answer 1

You can set the displayed name (per publisher account, not per item) at your Developer Dashboard:

Exceptions to the rule:

1. If your Webstore item is associated with a verified website, say http://example.com/, it will display "offered by example.com" with no possibility to change it except for removing the association.

2. You can be part of, and create, Group Publishing accounts. Items transferred to Group Publishing accounts have an independent display name.
   Make sure you read the documentation thoroughly before you use this feature, as it is in many ways irreversible! (for example, you can't transfer items back, and you can ever create only one such account)
